Reviews for Little Italy's Family Restaurant & Catering in Lutz, FL

This place closed about a week ago- owners were evicted. I ended up driving there with my boyfriend thinking it was open to an... empty restaurant and open front door. You should have seen how they actually ran the kitchen- absolutely disgusting and notclean whatsoever. Do not visit this chain if they reopen somewhere else, COVID is the least of your worries if you do. Read more

Second time i go. First time was a better experience. This time not too good.Waiters was great. Place is clean. Food was not so... good. Had spaghetti and meatballs. My husband had lasagna. Sauce on both thing was supper spicy. When we ask the nice waitressif they had change sauce, she said no that it was spicy because the cook put too much pepper anc they were aware of it. Read more

To me Little Italy?s is like having dinner at home except I don?t have to cleanup and my mother is not there guilting me into... eating more. ???? I love a deep hearty gravy (tomato sauce) and that is what you get. Plus portions that are enough to make youtap out. Their sangria is fantastic, their chicken Parmesan is exceptional. Their lasagna is wonderful - old school bubblingwith cheese with the right amount of gravy. They have by far the best meatballs I have ever had. I have tried to imitate themand can?t seem to come close. The help is always super friendly and welcoming. And Carl and Jessica are super people. It?s alocal gem and I encourage everyone to get out there and give them a try. You will be happy you did. Read more

We?ve been going to Little Italy?s for years now. Their food is delicious but best of all are the garlic knots. The portions are... huge- you can either share a meal or have leftovers for the next day. They are more expensive than an Olive Garden, but that?sbecause of the fresh ingredients and portions of the food. I?m glad I was involved in helping to save the business becausethey?ll continue to get my business as long as they are around! Read more

Lasagna should be baked. Gravy should be made with meat, it is not marinara. Everyone here is pretty nice. The service is good.... However, if I personally make a gravy I break the tomatoes down fully in a meat base and let it thicken. I don't sweeten it withsugar, either, preferring a savory gravy made with San Marzano tomatoes. My wife ordered lasagna and was given the componentingredients of lasagna drowned in a marinara. The stack couldn't stand up on it's own since it was hastily put together andcovered in marinara without being baked traditionally. The pandemic has been hard on the little business. I understand this.Still one shouldn't pass off marinara as gravy or take a short cuts on making lasagna. Read more

Absolutely delicious food, and wonderful staff, and the owner Jessica is lovely. I had them cater my baby shower, and they did... not fall short. Jessica kept in touch with me throughout the whole thing leading up to the special day, and was just so generousin wanting to go above & beyond for me so that I wouldn?t stress. Every one of my guests asked me where I got the food from,they loved it!!! I would definitely choose them again if I ever needed catering, I?m so happy to have stumbled across thisplace. Thank you Jess for everything and your wonderful chef Jenny ?? Read more

The #1 family Italian restaurant in the Tampa Bay area. Chicken Parmesan was delicious! (2) huge chicken breasts, topped with... just enough cheese & a side of spaghetti. Was enough for two. The pizza with extra cheese & mushrooms was perfectly cooked,sauced just right. The service was probably the best part. Geri was running take out, unfortunately, COVID spike has once againclosed dine in for small, intimate, CARING Mom & Pop restaurants. ???? Thankfully, the take out makes the drive home fresh & hotand Geri is always a pleasure! Thank you for your homemade dishes & pies! #supportsmallbusiness ? THE FACE LIFT IS BEAUTIFUL,FOLKS ? Great job. Highly recommend Read more
